Looking for a non Creative sound Card

[Ben]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a sound card that will work with Vista (Beta2).

I was looking to buy the Fata1ty XPS, but have recently found out that Creative aren't currently looking to support this version of Windows.

You may find it works.

They have beta Drivers on there site for X-Fi Series and although the driver is not specfically for BETA 2 it might work. Obviously i cannot say for sure that it does.

The Driver i am using for Realtek HD Audio is not for BETA2 and is for an earlier version build of Vista but it works fine.

Obviously in time Creative will bring out a Driver. But remember there is no time frame or pressure really for them to rush it out as Vista Release is only BETA and not full release, so its up to them if they release a beta driver. I cannot see them not doing it as with BETA2 being a very large public release it gives them a chance to get there products tested by a larger group of people.
Microsoft recommend that you only run Vista for testing on a second PC and not as your main OS because of Stability or compatibility problems and the fact that not all your hardware may work yet.
